Tubular Gluing Tip

After countless times of getting glue all over the rim I decided to try something new. Last fall I used the masking tape method when I aquasealed my cross tubulars. I thought I might try it out for gluing my road tubies too. It works great. Only really adds 5min to a glue job and its really makes everything much cleaner.

New Rides!!

Staying Organized

I have been cycling competitively now for 10 years. I am constantly buying and selling bike parts. Just recently I have realized that I need to keep all my crap a little bit more organized. I spent some time looking around Lowes and have come up with some great solutions.

Got these bins that help me organize everything in them from tires, bars, stems, brakes, headsets, saddles, etc.

I found these great boxes to organize all my little odds and ends.

Sorry for the upside down pictures. Can't figure out how to change them.

Sneak Peak at Pam's new wip.

Will be busting these out at Hillsburo in a few months.

Team stuff.

Things are starting to roll in. Of course all the bikes came in but mine does not. I gotta wait until Wednesday. Pam is taking all my SRAM Force off my Supersix (which I sold) but we I can't build hers until my frame comes in because I need a bike to ride. I also need a new front der. for her new Specialized because of the small tubes (31.8). Frames look sweet and I can't to build mine up later this week. I will post pics of my bike and Pam's when I am all finished. Hey I got some sweet shoes though.

Our apartment is looking even more like a bike shop, with 17 bikes, 6 frames, and god knows how many wheels. Its that season. New team bikes and Little 500 stuff makes for one bike filled apartment. Some of the team is coming down this weekend for a little training camp which should be fun. Spent all class today reading the live updates of Tour of Cali on my iphone. Wow I really am a bike dork.
